(i) no Member may exercise its Exchange Right with respect to any of its Common Units prior to the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement, except that on or after the date that is 180 days after the date of this Agreement, a Continuing Member (or its Permitted Transferee) may exercise its Exchange Right with respect to up to, in the aggregate for such Continuing Member and its Permitted Transferees, 50% of the number of Common Units held by such Continuing Member at the Effective Time solely in connection with an Underwritten Offering of the shares of Class A Stock issuable upon such Exchange; and

(ii) no Member may exercise its Exchange Right with respect to less than 200,000 Common Units more frequently than on a quarterly basis, unless (A) such exercise of the Exchange Right is for all of the Common Units held by such Member or (B) the Manager, in its sole discretion, permits such Member to exercise the Exchange Right for a lesser number of Common Units.

(c) In order to exercise the Exchange Right, a Member (the “ Exchanging Member ”) shall provide written notice (the “ Exchange Notice ”) to the Company and PubCo, stating (i) the number of Common Units (together with the transfer and surrender of an equal number of shares of Class B Stock) the Exchanging Member elects to have the Company redeem, and (ii) if the shares of Class A Stock to be received are to be issued other than in the name of the Exchanging Member, specifying the name(s) of the Person(s) in whose name or on whose order the shares of Class A Stock are to be issued. If the Common Units to be redeemed (or the shares of Class B Stock to be transferred and surrendered) are represented by a certificate or certificates, the Exchanging Member shall also present and surrender the certificate or certificates representing such Common Units and shares of Class B Stock during normal business hours at the principal executive offices of the Company, or if any agent for the registration or transfer of Class A Stock is then duly appointed and acting (the “ Transfer Agent ”), at the office of the Transfer Agent with respect to such Class A Stock. If required by PubCo, any certificate for Common Units and shares of Class B Stock surrendered in connection with an Exchange shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to PubCo and the Transfer Agent, duly executed by the Exchanging Member or the Exchanging Member’s duly authorized representative. An Exchange Notice may specify that the Exchange is to be contingent (including as to timing) upon the consummation of a purchase by another Person (whether in a tender or exchange offer, an Underwritten Offering or otherwise) of the shares of Class A Stock for which the Common Units and shares of Class B Stock are redeemable, or contingent (including as to timing) upon the closing of an announced merger, consolidation or other transaction or event in which the shares of Class A Stock would be exchanged or converted or become exchangeable for or convertible into cash or other securities or property, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any Exchange with respect to which the Company has made a valid Cash Election.

(d) Upon receipt of an Exchange Notice, the Company shall be entitled to elect (a “ Cash Election ”) to settle the Exchange by the delivery to the Exchanging Member, in lieu of the applicable number of shares of Class A Stock that would be received in such Exchange, an amount of cash equal to the Cash Election Amount for such Exchange. In order to make a Cash Election with respect to an Exchange, the Company must provide written notice (the “ Cash Election Notice ”) of such election to the Exchanging Member prior to 5:00 pm, Houston, Texas time, on the first Business Day after the date on which the Exchange Notice shall have been received by the Company and PubCo. If the Company fails to provide a Cash Election Notice prior to such time, it shall not be entitled to make a Cash Election with respect to such Exchange. The Exchanging Member may retract its Exchange Notice by giving written notice (the “ Retraction Notice ”) to the Company (with a copy to PubCo) at any time prior to 5:00 pm, Houston, Texas time, on the first Business Day after delivery of the Cash Election Notice. The timely delivery of a Retraction Notice shall terminate the Exchanging Member’s, the Company’s and PubCo’s rights and obligation under this Section 3.7 arising from the retracted Exchange Notice.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.7(c) or Section 3.7(d) , in the event the Company fails to timely make the Cash Election in connection with an Exchange, an Exchanging Member shall be entitled, at any time prior to the consummation of the Exchange, to revoke its Exchange Notice or delay the consummation of an Exchange if any of the following conditions exists: (i) any registration statement pursuant to which the resale of the Class A Stock to be registered for such Exchanging Member at or immediately following the consummation of the Exchange shall have ceased to be effective pursuant to any action or inaction by the Commission or no such resale registration statement has yet become effective; (ii) PubCo shall have failed to cause any related prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement necessary to effect such Exchange; (iii) PubCo shall have exercised its right to defer, delay or suspend the filing or effectiveness of the registration statement and such deferral, delay or suspension shall affect the ability of such Exchanging Member to have the resale of its Class A Stock registered at or immediately following the consummation of the Exchange; (iv) PubCo shall have disclosed to such Exchanging Member (after receiving consent of such Exchanging Member) any material non-public information concerning PubCo or its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, the receipt of which results in the Exchanging Member being prohibited or restricted from selling Class A Stock at or immediately following the Exchange without disclosure of such information (and PubCo does not permit disclosure); (v) any stop order relating to the registration statement pursuant to which the Class A Stock was to be registered by such Exchanging Member at or immediately following the Exchange shall have been issued by the Commission; (vi) there shall be in effect an injunction, a restraining order or decree of any nature of any Governmental Entity that restrains or prohibits the Exchange; (vii) PubCo shall have failed to comply in all material respects with its obligations under the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, and such failure shall have affected the ability of such Exchanging Member to consummate the resale of the Class A Stock to be received upon such Exchange pursuant to an effective registration statement; or (viii) the Exchange Date would occur three (3) Business Days or less prior to, or during, a Black-Out Period; provided, further , that in no event shall the Exchanging Member seeking to delay the consummation of such Exchange and relying on any of the matters in clauses (i) through (ix) above have controlled or intentionally materially influenced any facts, circumstances or Persons in connection therewith (except in the good faith performance of his or her duties as an officer, employee or director or manager of PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries) in order to provide such Exchanging Member with a basis for such delay or revocation. If an Exchanging Member delays the consummation of an Exchange pursuant to this Section 3.7(e) , (A) the Exchange Date shall occur on the third Business Day following the date on which the conditions giving rise to such delay cease to exist (or such earlier date as PubCo, the Company and Exchanging Member may mutually agree in writing) and (B) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.7(d) , the Exchanging Member may retract its Exchange Notice by giving a Retraction Notice to the Company (with a copy to PubCo) at any time prior to 5:00 pm, Houston, Texas time, on the first Business Day following the date on which the conditions giving rise to such delay cease to exist.

(f) If the Company has not made a valid Cash Election, then as promptly as practicable after the receipt of the Exchange Notice and the surrender to the Company of the certificate or certificates, if any, representing such Common Units and shares of Class B Stock (but in any event by the Exchange Date, as defined below), PubCo shall issue and contribute to the Company, and the Company shall deliver to the Exchanging Member, or on the Exchanging Member’s written order, the number of shares of Class A Stock issuable upon the Exchange (in book-entry or certificated form, as determined by PubCo, and with such legends as may be required in accordance with applicable Law), and the Company shall deliver such Common Units and shares of Class B Stock to PubCo in exchange for no additional consideration. If the Company has made a valid Cash Election, then as promptly as practicable after the receipt of the Exchange Notice (but in no event more than ten Business Days after receipt of the Exchange Notice), PubCo shall contribute to the Company the cash consideration the Exchanging Member is entitled to receive in the Exchange and, upon surrender to the Company of the certificate or certificates, if any, representing such Common Units and shares of Class B Stock, the Company shall deliver to the Exchanging Member as directed by the Exchanging Member by wire transfer of immediately available funds the Cash Election Amount payable upon the Exchange, and the Company shall deliver such Common Units and shares of Class B Stock to PubCo for no additional consideration. Each Exchange shall be deemed to have been effected on (i) (x) the Business Day after the date on which the Exchange Notice shall have been received by the Company, PubCo or the Transfer Agent, as applicable (subject to receipt by the Company, PubCo or the Transfer Agent, as applicable, within three Business Days thereafter of any required instruments of transfer as aforesaid) if the Company has not made a valid Cash Election with respect to such Exchange or (y) if the Company has made a valid Cash Election with respect to such Exchange, the first Business Day on which the Company has available funds to pay the Cash Election Amount (but in no event more than ten Business Days after receipt of the Exchange Notice), or (ii) such later date specified in or pursuant to the Exchange Notice (such date identified in clause (i) or (ii), as applicable, the “ Exchange Date ”). If the Company has not made a valid Cash Election, and the Person or Persons in whose name or the shares of Class A Stock shall be issuable upon such Exchange as aforesaid shall be deemed to have become, on the Exchange Date, the holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and in addition to the rights set forth in Section 3.7(e) , unless the Company has made a valid Cash Election (and the Exchanging Member has failed to timely deliver a Retraction Notice in accordance with Section 3.7(d) ), any Exchanging Member may retract or amend an Exchange Notice, in whole or in part, prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Exchange, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., Houston, Texas time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Exchange Date (or any such later time as may be required by applicable Law) by delivery of a written notice of retraction to the Company (with a copy to PubCo), specifying (1) the numbers of the withdrawn Common Units and shares of Class B Stock (and the applicable certificate numbers therefor, if certificated), (2) if any, the number of Common Units and shares of Class B Stock as to which the Exchange Notice remains in effect and (3) if the Exchanging Member so determines, a new Exchange Date or any other new or revised information permitted in an Exchange Notice.

(g) If  (i) there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction pursuant to which the shares of Class A Stock are converted or changed into another security, securities or other property, or (ii) PubCo shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of the shares of Class A Stock evidences of its Indebtedness or assets, including securities (including shares of Class A Stock and any rights, options or warrants to all holders of the shares of Class A Stock to subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire shares of Class A Stock, or other securities or rights convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for shares of Class A Stock) but excluding any cash dividend or distribution as well as any such distribution of Indebtedness or assets received by PubCo from the Company in respect of the Units, then upon any subsequent Exchange, in addition to the shares of Class A Stock or the Cash Election Amount, as applicable, each Member shall be entitled to receive the amount of such security, securities or other property that such Member would have received if such Exchange had occurred immediately prior to the effective date of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, other similar transaction dividend or other distribution, taking into account any adjustment as a result of any subdivision (by any split, distribution or dividend, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of such security, securities or other property that occurs after the effective time of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, if there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which the shares of Class A Stock are converted or changed into another security, securities or other property, or any dividend or distribution (other than an excluded dividend or distribution, as described above), this Section 3.7 shall continue to be applicable, mutatis mutandis, with respect to such security or other property.

(h) PubCo shall at all times keep available, solely for the purpose of issuance upon an Exchange, such number of shares of Class A Stock that shall be issuable upon the Exchange of all outstanding Common Units and shares of Class B Stock; provided, that nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude PubCo from satisfying its obligations with respect of an Exchange by delivery of shares of Class A Stock that are held in the treasury of PubCo. PubCo covenants that all shares of Class A Stock that shall be issued upon an Exchange shall, upon issuance thereof, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, for so long as the shares of Class A Stock are listed on a National Securities Exchange, PubCo shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause all shares of Class A Stock issued upon an Exchange to be listed on such National Securities Exchange at the time of such issuance.

(i) Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, each Exchange shall be treated for federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes as a taxable sale of the Exchanging Member’s Common Units (together with the same number of shares of Class B Stock) to PubCo in exchange for shares of Class A Stock or cash, as applicable. The issuance of shares of Class A Stock upon an Exchange shall be made without charge to the Exchanging Member for any stamp or other similar tax in respect of such issuance; provided , however , that if any such shares are to be issued in a name other than that of the Exchanging Member, then the Person or Persons in whose name the shares are to be issued shall pay to PubCo the amount of any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in such issuance or shall establish to the satisfaction of PubCo that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.7 , but subject to Section 3.7(k) , an Exchanging Member shall be deemed to have offered to sell its Common Units and shares of Class B Stock set forth in the Exchange Notice to PubCo, and PubCo may, in its sole discretion, by means of delivery of Call Election Notices and/or Revocation Notices in accordance with, and subject to the terms of, this Section 3.7(j) and Section 3.7(k) , elect to purchase directly and acquire such Common Units and shares of Class B Stock on the Exchange Date by paying to the Exchanging Member (or, on the Exchanging Member’s written order, its designee) that number of shares of Class A Stock the Exchanging Member (or its designee) would otherwise receive pursuant to Section 3.7(a) or, at PubCo’s election, an amount of cash equal to the Cash Election Amount of such shares of Class A Stock (the “ Direct Exchange Right ”), whereupon PubCo shall acquire the Common Units and shares of Class B Stock offered for exchange by the Exchanging Member and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as the owner of such Common Units and shares of Class B Stock. In the event PubCo shall exercise the Direct Exchange Right, each of the Exchanging Member, the Company and PubCo, as the case may be, shall treat the transaction between the Company and the Exchanging Member for federal income tax purposes as a sale of the Exchanging Member’s Common Units and shares of Class B Stock to PubCo.

(k) PubCo may at any time in its sole discretion deliver written notice (a “ Call Election Notice ”) to each other Member setting forth its election to exercise its Direct Exchange Right as contemplated by Section 3.7(j) with respect to future Exchanges (without needing to provide further notice of its intention to exercise its Direct Exchange Right). Subject to the remainder of this Section 3.7(k) , a Call Election Notice will be effective until such time as PubCo amends such Call Election Notice with a superseding Call Election Notice or revokes such Call Election Notice by delivery of a written notice of revocation delivered to each other Member or, with respect to a particular Exchange, the Company exercises its Cash Election (a “ Revocation Notice ”). A Call Election Notice may be amended or revoked by PubCo at any time; provided that any Exchange Notice delivered by a Member will not, without such Member’s written consent, be affected by the subsequent delivery of a Revocation Notice or by a Call Election Notice that is not effective until after the Exchange Date. Following delivery of a Revocation Notice, PubCo may deliver a new Call Election Notice pursuant to this Section 3.7(k) . Any amendment of a Call Election Notice will not be effective until the Business Day after its delivery to each Member (other than PubCo). Each Call Election Notice shall specify the date from which it shall be effective (which shall be no earlier than the Business Day after delivery).

(l) In connection with a PubCo Change of Control, PubCo shall have the right to require each Member (other than PubCo) to effect an Exchange of some or all of such Member’s Common Units and a corresponding number of Class B Stock. Any Exchange pursuant to this Section 3.7(l) shall be effective immediately prior to the consummation of the PubCo Member Change of Control (and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be effective if such PubCo Change of Control is not consummated) (the “ Change of Control Exchange Date ”). From and after the Change of Control Exchange Date, (i) the Common Units and shares of Class B Stock subject to such Exchange shall be deemed to be transferred to PubCo on the Change of Control Exchange Date and (ii) such Member shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Common Units and shares of Class B Stock subject to such Exchange (other than the right to receive shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to such Exchange). PubCo shall provide written notice of an expected PubCo Change of Control transaction to all Members within the earlier of  (x) five Business Days following the execution of the definitive agreement with respect to such PubCo Change of Control and (y) 10 Business Days before the proposed date upon which the contemplated PubCo Change of Control is to be effected, indicating in such notice such information as may reasonably describe the PubCo Change of Control transaction, subject to applicable Law, including the date of execution of such definitive agreement or such proposed effective date, as applicable, the amount and type of consideration to be paid for shares of Class A Stock in the PubCo Change of Control, any election with respect to types of consideration that a holder of shares of Class A Stock, as applicable, shall be entitled to make in connection with such PubCo Change of Control, and the number of Common Units and shares of Class B Stock held by such Member that PubCo intends to require to be subject to such Exchange. Following the delivery of such notice and on or prior to the Change of Control Redemption Date, the Members shall take all actions reasonably requested by PubCo to effect such Exchange, including taking any action and delivering any document required pursuant to Section 3.7(a) and Section 3.7(c) to effect such Exchange.

(m) In the event that a tender offer, share exchange offer, issuer bid, take-over bid, recapitalization or similar transaction with respect to shares of Class A Stock (a “ PubCo Offer ”) is proposed by PubCo or is proposed to PubCo or its stockholders and approved by the board of directors of PubCo or is otherwise effected or to be effected with the consent or approval of the board of directors of PubCo, each Member (other than PubCo) shall be permitted to participate in such PubCo Offer by delivery of a contingent Exchange Notice in accordance with the last sentence of Section 3.7(c) with respect to its Common Units and shares of Class B Stock (other than with respect to any Common Units or shares of Class B Stock to which the Company exercised its right to require any such Member to effect an Exchange pursuant to Section 3.7(l) in connection with a PubCo Change of Control) (the “ Eligible PubCo Offer Securities ”). In the case of a PubCo Offer proposed by PubCo, PubCo will use its reasonable best efforts expeditiously and in good faith to take all such actions and do all such things as are necessary or desirable to enable and permit the Members to participate in such PubCo Offer with respect to such Eligible PubCo Offer Securities to the same extent or on an economically equivalent basis as the holders of shares of PubCo without discrimination; provided that, without limiting the generality of this sentence, PubCo will use its reasonable best efforts expeditiously and in good faith to ensure that such Members may participate in each such PubCo Offer with respect to such Eligible PubCo Offer Securities without being required to cause the Exchange of Common Units and shares of Class B Stock (or, if so required, to ensure that any such Exchange shall be effective only upon, and shall be conditional upon, the closing of such PubCo Offer and only to the extent necessary to tender or deposit to PubCo Offer in accordance with the last sentence of Section 3.7(c) , or, as applicable, to the extent necessary to exchange the Eligible PubCo Offer Securities being repurchased). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Members (other than PubCo) be entitled to receive in such PubCo Offer aggregate consideration for each Common Unit and corresponding share of Class B Stock comprising the Eligible PubCo Offer Securities that is greater than the consideration payable in respect of each share of Class A Stock in connection with a PubCo Offer.

(n) No Exchange shall impair the right of the Exchanging Member to receive any distributions payable on the Common Units so redeemed in respect of a record date that occurs prior to the Exchange Date for such Exchange. For the avoidance of doubt, no Exchanging Member, or a Person designated by an Exchanging Member to receive shares of Class A Stock, shall be entitled to receive, with respect to the same fiscal quarter, distributions or dividends both on Common Units redeemed from such Exchanging Member and on shares of Class A Stock received by such Exchanging Member, or other Person so designated, if applicable, in such Exchange.

ARTICLE IV

CAPITAL ACCOUNTS ; ALLOCATIONS OF PROFITS AND LOSSES

Section 4.1. Capital Accounts .     A Capital Account shall be maintained for each Member in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) and, to the extent consistent with such regulations, the other provisions of this Agreement. For this purpose, the Company may (in the discretion of the Partnership Representative), upon the occurrence of the events specified in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), increase or decrease the Capital Accounts in accordance with the rules of such Treasury Regulations and Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) to reflect a revaluation of Company property. The Capital Account balance of each of the Members as of the Effective Time is its respective Effective Time Capital Account Balance set forth on Exhibit A . Thereafter, each Member’s Capital Account shall be (a) increased by (i) allocations to such Member of Profits pursuant to Section 4.2 and any other items of income or gain allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 4.3 , (ii) the amount of additional cash or the initial Gross Asset Value of any asset (net of any Liabilities assumed by the Company and any Liabilities to which the asset is subject) contributed to the Company by such Member, and (iii) any other increases allowed or required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), and (b) decreased by (i) allocations to such Member of Losses pursuant to Section 4.2 and any other items of deduction or loss allocated to such Member pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.3 , (ii) the amount of any cash or the Gross Asset Value of any asset (net of any Liabilities assumed by the Company and any Liabilities to which the asset is subject) distributed to such Member, and (iii) any other decreases allowed or required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). In the event of a Transfer of Units made in accordance with this Agreement, the Capital Account of the Transferor that is attributable to the Transferred Units shall carry over to the Transferee Member in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)( l ).

Section 4.2. Profits and Losses .     After giving effect to the allocations under Section 4.3 , Profits and Losses (and, to the extent determined by the Partnership Representative to be necessary and appropriate to achieve the resulting Capital Account balances described below, any allocable items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit includable in the computation of Profits and Losses) for each Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Members during such Fiscal Year in a manner such that, after giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 4.3 and all distributions through the end of such Fiscal Year, the Capital Account balance of each Member, immediately after making such allocation, is, as nearly as possible, equal to (i) the amount such Member would receive pursuant to Section 10.3(b) if all assets of the Company on hand at the end of such Fiscal Year were sold for cash equal to their Gross Asset Values, all Liabilities of the Company were satisfied in cash in accordance with their terms (limited with respect to each Nonrecourse Liability to the Gross Asset Value of the assets securing such Liability), and all remaining or resulting cash was distributed, in accordance with Section 10.3(b) , to the Members immediately after making such allocation, minus (ii) such Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets.

Section 4.3. Special Allocations .  

(a) Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Members on a pro rata basis in accordance with the number of Units owned by each Member.

(b) Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i). If more than one Member bears the economic risk of loss for such Member Nonrecourse Debt, the Member Nonrecourse Deductions attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated among the Members according to the ratio in which they bear the economic risk of loss. This Section 4.3(b) is intended to comply with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year (or if there was a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain for a prior Fiscal Year and the Company did not have sufficient amounts of income and gain during prior Fiscal Years to allocate among the Members under this Section 4.3(c) ), each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during such year (as determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2)). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This section is intended to constitute a minimum gain chargeback under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(d) Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement except Section 4.3(c) , if there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year (or if there was a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain for a prior Fiscal Year and the Company did not have sufficient amounts of income and gain during prior Fiscal Years to allocate among the Members under this Section 4.3(d) ), each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain (as determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4)). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This section is intended to constitute a partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary except Section 4.3(c) and Section 4.3(d) , in the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustment, allocation or distribution described in paragraph (4), (5) or (6) of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)( d ), resulting in, or increasing, an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for such Member, items of Company income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of income, including gross income, and gain for the Fiscal Year) shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate any Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of that Member as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 4.3(e) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article IV have been tentatively made as if this Section 4.3(e) were not in this Agreement. This Section 4.3(e) is intended to constitute a qualified income offset under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii) (d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(f) If any Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year that is in excess of the sum of  (i) the amount that such Member is obligated to restore and (ii) the amount that the Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentence of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and (i)(5), that Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income, gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 4.3(f) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article IV have been made as if Section 4.3(e) and this Section 4.3(f) were not in this Agreement.

(g) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Sections 734(b) or 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)( m )(2) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) (m) (4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as a result of a distribution to any Member in complete liquidation of such Member’s Interest in the Company, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such item of gain or loss shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) (m) (2) if such section applies or to the Member to whom such distribution was made if Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) (m) (4) applies.

(h) The allocations set forth in Section 4.3(a) through Section 4.3 (g) (the “ Regulatory Allocations ”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IV (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations (and anticipated future Regulatory Allocations) shall be taken into account in allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocation of other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member should be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. This Section 4.3(h) is intended to minimize to the extent possible and to the extent necessary any economic distortions which may result from application of the Regulatory Allocations and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

Section 4.4. Allocations for Tax Purposes in General .  

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.4 , each item of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as such item is allocated under Section 4.2 and Section 4.3 .

(b) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (including the Treasury Regulations applying the principles of Code Section 704(c) to changes in Gross Asset Values) , items of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any Company property having a Gross Asset Value that differs from such property’s adjusted federal income tax basis shall, solely for federal income tax purposes, be allocated among the Members to account for any such difference using the “remedial method” under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(d) or such other method or methods as determined by the Partnership Representative to be appropriate and in accordance with the applicable Treasury Regulations; provided, however , the Partnership Representative shall cause the Company to use the “traditional method” as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(b) (including in connection with any “reverse 704(c) allocation”) that may be required in connection with a “book-up” of the Company’s assets in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger and Contribution Agreement.

(c) Any (i) recapture of Depreciation or any other item of deduction shall be allocated, in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.1245-1(e) and 1.1254-5, to the Members who received the benefit of such deductions (taking into account the effect of allocations under Code Section 704(c)), and (ii) recapture of grants credits shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with applicable Law.

(d) Allocations pursuant to this Section 4.4 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect or in any way be taken into account in computing any Member’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

(e) If, as a result of an exercise of a noncompensatory option to acquire an interest in the Company, a Capital Account reallocation is required under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)( s )(3), the Company shall make corrective allocations pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(x).

Section 4.5. Other Allocation Rules .  

(a) The Members are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article IV and the economic impact of the allocations on the amounts receivable by them under this Agreement. The Members hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article IV in reporting their share of Company income and loss for income tax purposes.

(b) All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allocable to an interest in the Company that may have been Transferred shall be allocated between the Transferor and the Transferee based on the portion of the Fiscal Year during which each was recognized as the owner of such interest; provided, however, that this allocation must be made in accordance with a method permissible under Code Section 706 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder; provided, further, however, with respect to the IRS Form 1065 (or similar state or local tax return) filed for the Tax year of the Company including the Company Merger, such tax return shall be prepared utilizing the “interim closing method” as if the Tax year ended on the Closing Date and “calendar day convention” (in each case, as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.706-4) as of the end of the day on which the Company Merger occurred.

(c) The Members’ proportionate shares of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), shall be allocated to the Members in any manner determined by the Partnership Representative and permissible under the Treasury Regulations.

ARTICLE V

DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 5.1. Distributions .

(a) Distributions . To the extent permitted by applicable Law and hereunder, distributions to Members may be declared by the Manager out of funds legally available therefor in such amounts and on such terms (including the payment dates of such distributions) as the Manager shall determine using such record date as the Manager may designate; such distribution shall be made to the Members as of the close of business on such record date on a pro rata basis in accordance with the number of Units owned by each Member (except that repurchases or exchanges made in accordance with Section 3.5(c) or payments made in accordance with Section 6.4 need not be on a pro rata basis), in accordance with the number of Units owned by each Member as of the close of business on such record date; provided, however , that the Company shall have the obligation to make distributions as set forth in Section 5.2 and Section 6.4 ; and provided further that, notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, no distributions shall be made to any Member to the extent such distribution would render the Company insolvent. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, insolvency means the inability of the Company to meet its payment obligations when due. Promptly following the designation of a record date and the declaration of a distribution pursuant to this Section 5.1 , the Manager shall give notice to each Member of the record date, the amount and the terms of the distribution and the payment date thereof.

(b) Successors . For purposes of determining the amount of distributions, each Member shall be treated as having made the Capital Contributions and as having received the Distributions made to or received by its predecessors in respect of any of such Member’s Units.

(c) Distributions In-Kind . Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any distributions may be made in cash or in kind, or partly in cash and partly in kind, as determined by the Manager. To the extent that the Company distributes property in-kind to the Members, the Company shall be treated as making a distribution equal to the Fair Market Value of such property for purposes of Section 5.1(a) and such property shall be treated as if it were sold for an amount equal to its Fair Market Value. Any resulting gain or loss shall be allocated to the Member’s Capital Accounts in accordance with Section 4.2 and Section 4.3 .

Section 5.2. Tax Distributions .  

(a) Prior to making distributions pursuant to Section 5.1 , on each Tax Distribution Date, the Company shall, subject to the availability of funds and to any restrictions contained in any agreement to which the Company is bound, make distributions to the Members on a pro rata basis in accordance with the number of Units owned by each Member, subject to Section 5.2(b), in an amount sufficient to cause PubCo to receive a distribution equal to all of PubCo’s federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax liabilities during the Fiscal Year or other taxable period to which the tax-related distribution under this Section 5.2(a) relates.

(b) If a Tax Advance Eligible Member has an Assumed Tax Liability at a Tax Distribution Date in excess of the sum of the cumulative amount of distributions made to such Member under Section 5.1 , Section 5.2(a) and advances made under this Section 5.2(b), in each case, in the relevant Fiscal Year or other taxable period, the Company shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, and subject to the legal availability of funds and any restrictions contained in any agreement to which the Company is bound, make advances to such Member in an amount equal to such excess (a “ Tax Advance ”). Any such Tax Advance shall be treated as an advance against and, thus, shall reduce (without duplication), any future distributions that would otherwise be made to such Member pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 10.3(b)(iii) . If there is a Tax Advance outstanding with respect to a Member (i) who elects to participate in an Exchange (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any sale of such Units pursuant to the Direct Exchange Right at the option of PubCo pursuant to Section 3.7(j) ) or (ii) who Transfers Units pursuant to the provisions of Article VIII , then in each case such Member shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company against such Tax Advance, and shall be required to promptly pay to the Company (but in all events within fifteen (15) days after the Exchange Date or Transfer date, as the case may be) an amount of cash equal to the proportionate share of such Tax Advance relating to its Units subject to the Exchange or Transfer (determined at the time of the Exchange or Transfer based on the number of Units subject to the Exchange or Transfer as compared to the total number of Units held by such Member), provided that, in the case of a Transfer described in clause (ii) , such Member shall not be required to pay such amount of cash equal to the proportionate share of such Tax Advance relating to its Units subject to the Transfer, if the transferee is either a Permitted Transferee or such Transfer is otherwise approved by the Manager and the transferee agrees to assume the Member’s obligation to repay to the Company such amount equal to the proportionate share of the Member’s existing Tax Advance relating to such Units subject to the Transfer, and such Member shall be relieved from any liabilities associated with and the obligation to repay its existing Tax Advance relating to such Units subject to the Transfer. The obligations of each Member pursuant to the preceding sentence shall survive the withdrawal of any Member or the transfer of any Member’s Units and shall apply to any current or former Member. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) any payment of a Tax Advance made by the Company pursuant to this Section 5.2(b) shall not reduce the Capital Account balance of the applicable Member and (ii) any repayment of a Tax Advance pursuant to the previous sentence shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution.

Section 5.3. Distribution Upon Withdrawal .     No withdrawing Member shall be entitled to receive any distribution or the value of such Member’s Interest in the Company as a result of withdrawal from the Company prior to the liquidation of the Company, except as specifically provided in this Agreement.

PubCo shall be the initial Manager as of the Effective Time and shall serve as the Manager from and after the Effective Time until a successor Manager is duly elected pursuant to Section 6.6 .

(c) In connection with the performance of its duties as the Manager of the Company, the Manager acknowledges that it will owe to the Members the same fiduciary duties as it would owe to the stockholders of a Delaware corporation if it were a member of the board of directors of such a corporation and the Members were stockholders of such corporation. The parties acknowledge that PubCo, as the initial Manager and for so long as it continues to be the Manager, will take action through its board of directors, and that the members of PubCo’s board of directors will owe comparable fiduciary duties to the stockholders of PubCo.

Section 6.2. Officers .  

(a) The Manager may appoint, employ or otherwise contract with any Person for the transaction of the business of the Company or the performance of services for or on behalf of the Company, and the Manager may delegate to any such Persons such authority to act on behalf of the Company as the Manager may from time to time deem appropriate.

(b) The initial president and chief executive officer of the Company (the “ President and Chief Executive Officer ”) will be Joel Broussard.

(c) Except as otherwise set forth herein, the President and Chief Executive Officer will be responsible for the general and active management of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries and will see that all orders of the Manager are carried into effect.

The President and Chief Executive Officer will have the power to execute bonds, mortgages and other Contracts requiring a seal, under the seal of the Company, except where required or permitted by Law to be otherwise signed and executed, and except where the signing and execution thereof will be expressly delegated by the Manager to some other Officer or agent of the Company.

(d) Except as set forth herein, the Manager may appoint Officers at any time, and the Officers may include one or more vice presidents, a secretary, one or more assistant secretaries, a chief financial officer, a general counsel, a treasurer, one or more assistant treasurers, a chief operating officer, an executive chairman, and any other officers that the Manager deems appropriate. Except as set forth herein, the Officers will serve at the pleasure of the Manager, subject to all rights, if any, of such Officer under any Contract of employment. Any individual may hold any number of offices, and an Officer may, but need not, be a Member of the Company. The Officers will exercise such powers and perform such duties as specified in this Agreement or as determined from time to time by the Manager.

(e) Subject to this Agreement and to the rights, if any, of an Officer under a Contract of employment, any Officer may be removed, either with or without cause, by the Manager. Any Officer may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Manager. Any resignation will take effect at the date of the receipt of that notice or at any later time specified in that notice; and, unless otherwise specified in that notice, the acceptance of the resignation will not be necessary to make it effective. Any resignation is without prejudice to the rights, if any, of the Company under any Contract to which the Officer is a party. A vacancy in any office because of death, resignation, removal, disqualification or any other cause will be filled in the manner prescribed in this Agreement for regular appointments to that office.

Warranted Reliance by Officers on Others .     In exercising their authority and performing their duties under this Agreement, the Officers shall be entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports, or statements of the following persons or groups unless they have actual knowledge concerning the matter in question that would cause such reliance to be unwarranted:

(a) one or more employees or other agents of the Company or in subordinates whom the Officer reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented; and

(b) any attorney, public accountant, or other person as to matters which the Officer reasonably believes to be within such person’s professional or expert competence.

Section 6.4. Indemnification .     Subject to the limitations and conditions provided in this Section 6.4 , each Person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or arbitrative (each, a “ Proceeding ”), or any appeal in such a Proceeding or any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such a Proceeding, by reason of the fact he, she or it, or a Person of which he, she or it is the legal representative, is or was a Member, the Manager or an Officer, in each case, shall be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than such Law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment) against all judgment, penalties (including excise and similar taxes and punitive damages), fines, settlement and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) actually incurred by such Person in connection with such Proceeding, appeal, inquiry or investigation, if such Person acted in Good Faith. Reasonable expenses incurred by a Person of the type entitled to be indemnified under this Section 6.4 who was, is or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a Proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he, she or it is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. Indemnification under this Section 6.4 shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to serve in the capacity which initially entitled such Person to indemnity hereunder. The rights granted pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall be deemed contract rights, and no amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 6.4 shall have the effect of limiting or denying any such rights with respect to actions taken or Proceedings, appeals, inquiries or investigations arising prior to any amendment, modification or repeal. It is expressly acknowledged that the indemnification provided in this Section 6.4 could involve indemnification for negligence or under theories of strict liability.

Section 6.5. Maintenance of Insurance or Other Financial Arrangements .     In compliance with applicable Law, the Company (with the approval of the Manager) may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any Person who is or was a Member, employee or agent of the Company or the Manager, or at the request of the Company is or was serving as a manager, director, officer, employee or agent of another limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, for any Liability asserted against such Person and Liability and expenses incurred by such Person in such Person’s capacity as such, or arising out of such Person’s status as such, whether or not the Company has the authority to indemnify such Person against such Liability and expenses.

This paragraph shall not be repealed, amended, waived or otherwise modify any such rights to indemnification, exculpation, and advancement of expenses in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Company Indemnitees.

Section 6.6. Election of Manager .     Following the Effective Time, the Manager shall be elected annually by the Members in accordance with this Section 6.6 , and the Manager so elected shall serve as the Manager until a successor has been duly elected as the Manager in accordance with this Section 6.6 . Not more than one year after the later of  (a) the Effective Time and (b) the last meeting of the Members or action by written consent of the Members at which or pursuant to which the Manager was elected in accordance with this Section 6.6 , the Manager at such time (or the Members if the Manager shall fail to take such action) shall either (i) call and hold a meeting of the Members for purposes of electing the Manager or (ii) seek written consents from the requisite Members to elect the Manager pursuant to Section 7.2(d) . A Person shall be elected as the Manager if the election of such Manager is approved by Members holding a majority of the outstanding Units by vote at a meeting held for such purpose or by action by written consent; provided , however , that if the Person so elected as the Manager was not the Manager immediately prior to such election, such election shall not be effective, and such Person shall not become the Manager, unless and until such Person has executed and delivered to the Company the written agreement of such Person to be bound by the terms of this Agreement applicable to the Manager, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Manager serving immediately prior to such election or to the Members holding a majority of the outstanding Units.

Section 6.7. Resignation or Removal of Manager; Vacancy . The Manager may resign as the Manager at any time and may be removed at any time, with our without cause, by the Members holding a majority of the outstanding Units by vote at a meeting of the Members held for such purpose or by action by written consent; provided , however , that no (i) such resignation or removal shall be effective until a successor Manager has been duly elected in accordance with Section 6.6 , and (ii) PubCo shall not resign as the Manager for so long as it is a Member. If for any reason a Manager ceases to serve as the Manager prior to the election of a successor Manager in accordance with Section 6.6 , PubCo shall automatically, and without any action of the Company or any Member, become the Manager and serve as the Manager until another Person is duly elected as the Manager in accordance with Section 6.6 .

To the extent that the Manager determines in good faith that such expenses are related to the business and affairs of the Manager that are conducted through the Company and/or its Subsidiaries (including expenses that relate to the business and affairs of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries and that also relate to other activities of the Manager), the Manager may cause the Company to pay or bear all expenses of the Manager, including, without limitation, costs of securities offerings not borne directly by the Members, board of directors’ compensation and meeting costs, cost of periodic reports to its stockholders, litigation costs and damages arising from litigation, accounting and legal costs and franchise taxes, provided that the Company shall not pay or bear any income tax obligations of the Manager.

ARTICLE VIII

TRANSFERS OF INTERESTS

Section 8.1. Restrictions on Transfer .  

(a) Except as provided in Section 3.7 and except for the Transfers by a Member to Permitted Transferee, no Member shall Transfer all or any portion of its Interest without the prior written consent of the Manager in its sole discretion; provided, that, to the extent that the Manager determines in good faith that a proposed transfer would not have the effect contemplated by Sections 8.1(b)(ii) and (iii) , then the Manager will not unreasonably withhold its consent to a transfer by any Member that holds at least 5% of the Units not held by PubCo and who intends, in connection with such proposed transfer, to transfer all or substantially all of the Units then held by such Member to any Person or group of Persons acting together that would constitute a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or any successor provisions thereto. If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8.1(a) , all or any portion of a Member’s Interests are Transferred in violation of this Section 8.1(a) , involuntarily, by operation of Law or otherwise, then without limiting any other rights and remedies available to the other parties under this Agreement or otherwise, the Transferee of such Interest (or portion thereof) shall not be admitted to the Company as a Member or be entitled to any rights as a Member hereunder, and the Transferor will continue to be bound by all obligations hereunder, unless and until the Manager consents in writing to such admission, which consent shall be granted or withheld in the Manager’s sole discretion. Any attempted or purported Transfer of all or a portion of a Member’s Interests in violation of this Section 8.1(a) shall be null and void and of no force or effect whatsoever. For the avoidance of doubt, the restrictions on Transfer contained in this Article VIII shall not apply to the Transfer of any capital stock of PubCo; provided that no shares of Class B Stock may be Transferred unless a corresponding number of Units are Transferred therewith in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) In addition to any other restrictions on Transfer herein contained, including the provisions of this Article VIII , in no event may any Transfer or assignment of Interests by any Member be made (i) to any Person who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own Interests; (ii) if in the opinion of legal counsel or a qualified tax advisor to the Company such Transfer presents a material risk that such Transfer would cause the Company to cease to be classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes or to be classified as a publicly traded partnership within the meaning of Section 7704(b) of the Code for federal income tax purposes; (iii) if such Transfer would cause the Company to become, with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a “party-in-interest” (as defined in Section 3 (14) of ERISA) or a “disqualified person” (as defined in Section 4975(e)(2) of the Code); (iv) if such Transfer would, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, cause any portion of the assets of the Company to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to the Plan Asset Regulations or otherwise cause the Company to be subject to regulation under ERISA; (v) if such Transfer requires the registration of such Interests or any Equity Securities issued upon any exchange of such Interests, pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities Laws; or (vi) if such Transfer subjects the Company to regulation under the Investment Company Act or the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, each as amended (or any succeeding law).

Notice of Transfer .     Other than in connection with Transfers made pursuant to Section 3.7 , each Member shall, after complying with the provisions of this Agreement, but in any event no later than three Business Days following any Transfer of Interests, give written notice to the Company of such Transfer. Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the Transfer.

Section 8.3. Transferee Members .     A Transferee of Interests pursuant to this Article VIII shall have the right to become a Member only if  (i) the requirements of this Article VIII are met, (ii) such Transferee executes a Joinder or another instrument reasonably satisfactory to the Manager agreeing to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and assuming all of the Transferor’s then existing and future Liabilities arising under or relating to this Agreement, (iii) such Transferee represents that the Transfer was made in accordance with all applicable securities Laws, (iv) the Transferor or Transferee shall have reimbursed the Company for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) of any Transfer or proposed Transfer of a Member’s Interest, whether or not consummated and (v) if such Transferee or his or her spouse is a resident of a community property jurisdiction, then such Transferee’s spouse shall also execute an instrument reasonably satisfactory to the Manager agreeing to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement to the extent of his or her community property or quasi-community property interest, if any, in such Member’s Interest. Unless agreed to in writing by the Manager, the admission of a Member shall not result in the release of the Transferor from any Liability that the Transferor may have to each remaining Member or to the Company under this Agreement (but only to the extent existing or relating to acts or omissions that existed on or prior to such admission date) or under any other Contract between the Manager, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and such Transferor or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.3 , and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, following a Transfer by one or more Members (or a transferee of the type described in this sentence) to an Permitted Transferee of all or substantially all of their Interests, such transferee shall succeed to all of the rights of such Member(s) under this Agreement.

Section 8.4. Legend .     Each certificate representing a Unit, if any, will be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

Section 9.2. Tax Elections .     The Company shall make the following elections on the appropriate forms or tax returns:

(a) to adopt the calendar year as the Company’s Fiscal Year, if permitted under the Code;

(b) to adopt the accrual method of accounting for federal income tax purposes;

(c) to elect to amortize the organizational expenses of the Company as permitted by Code Section 709(b);

(d) to make an election described in Section 754 of the Code (which the Company shall ensure that it has in effect at all times); and

(e) any other election the Partnership Representative may deem appropriate in its sole discretion.

Section 9.3. Tax Returns .     The Partnership Representative shall arrange for the preparation and timely filing of all income and other tax and informational returns of the Company. The Company shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to deliver, or cause to be delivered, within 90 days after the end of each of the Company’s Fiscal Year, to each Person who was a Member at any time during such Fiscal Year, all information reasonably necessary related to the Company for the preparation of such Person’s United States federal and applicable state income tax returns with respect to such Person’s Units.

Section 9.4. Partnership Representative .     PubCo shall act as the “partnership representative” within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code (the “ Partnership Representative “). The Partnership Representative shall be responsible for making all decisions, filing all elections and taking all other actions, in each case related to any audit, examination, litigation or other tax-related proceeding, or otherwise related to its role as “partnership representative” pursuant to Sections 6221 through 6231 of the Code, in its sole discretion. Each Member shall indemnify and reimburse the Company to the extent the Company is required to make any payment for taxes, interest, additions to tax or penalties or with respect to a Member’s share of any adjustment to income, gain, loss, deduction or credit as determined in the reasonable good faith discretion of the Partnership Representative. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, a Member’s obligations under this Section 9.4 shall survive the dissolution, liquidation, termination and winding-up of the Company and shall survive, as to each Member, such Member’s withdrawal from the Company or termination of the Member’s status as a Member. Any reasonable, documented cost or expense incurred by the Partnership Representative in connection with the roles and responsibilities described in this Section 9.4 shall be borne by the Company. The Members agree to reasonably cooperate with the Company and the Partnership Representative as necessary to carry out the intent of this Section 9.4 .

Section 9.5. Withholding Tax Payments and Obligations .  

(a) If the Company receives proceeds in respect of which a tax has been withheld, the Company shall be treated as having received cash in an amount equal to the amount of such withheld tax, and, for all purposes of this Agreement but subject to Section 9.5(d) , each Member shall be treated as having received a distribution pursuant to Section 5.1 equal to the portion of the withholding tax allocable to such Member, as determined by the Partnership Representative in its discretion.

(b) The Company is authorized to (i) withhold from distributions to a Member and to pay over to any Governmental Entity any amount required to be so withheld pursuant to the Code or any other federal, foreign, state, or local Law and (ii) make payments to any Governmental Entity with respect to any foreign, federal, state or local tax liability of a Member arising as a result of such Member’s interest in the Company (a “ Withholding Payment ”). A Withholding Payment shall include any “imputed underpayment” within the meaning of Code Section 6225 paid (or payable) by the Company as a result of an adjustment with respect to any partnership item, including any interest or penalties with respect to any such adjustment (collectively, an “ Imputed Underpayment Amount ”). The Partnership Representative shall reasonably determine the portion of any Imputed Underpayment Amount that is attributable to each Member (including a former Member and such former Member’s assignee(s) or transferee(s)). An Imputed Underpayment Amount shall include any “imputed underpayment” within the meaning of Code Section 6225 paid (or payable) by any entity treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes in which the Company holds (or has held) a direct or indirect interest, other than through entities treated as corporations for federal income tax purposes, to the extent that the Company bears the economic burden of such amounts, whether by Law or agreement.

(c) Neither the Company nor the Partnership Representative shall be liable for any excess taxes withheld in respect of any Member, and, in the event of overwithholding, a Member’s sole recourse shall be to apply for a refund from the appropriate Governmental Entity.

(d) Any taxes or amounts withheld pursuant to this Section 9.5 shall be treated as if distributed to the relevant Member to the extent an amount equal to such withheld taxes or amounts would then be distributable to such Member, and, to the extent in excess of such distributable amounts, as a demand loan payable by the Member to the Company with interest at the Prime Rate in effect from time to time, compounded annually. The Partnership Representative may, in its sole discretion, either demand payment of the principal and accrued interest on such demand loan at any time, and enforce payment thereof by legal process, or may withhold from one or more distributions to a Member amounts sufficient to satisfy such Member’s obligations under any such demand loan.
